I feel so sad at Gregs passing in a way more so than Keith's not sure why. The guy was a gentlemen as well as wonderful guitarist and musician.ELP was and still is one of my all time favourite bands and had a great influence in my musical choices.I know death is a part of life but losing your musical heros brings home to me how short life is.RIP Greg and thanks.

I grew up celebrating this event much loved by us Brits. My kids and G. kids also have enjoyed it over years and by the sounds of it's still popular now.It strange how the attempt at mass murder should be remembered so joyfully we are a strange lot.

Really I haven't practiced guitar seriously for years. I play almost every day for my enjoyment. I only get serious if I've got some lead to play on a recording then I guess I practice a lot to get it right.I just got to many other things in life to get bogged down with guitar practice every day.

Being of a certain age early Floyd had the greatest impact on me musically. As keepitreal says Meddle was so different at the time and the track Echoes was mind blowing in good way.The Darkside album had some great tracks was more main stream and lead to commercial success.I enjoyed listening to all the later works but they never had the same impact of the earlier works.I watched a couple of documentaries about the bands history and realised what a huge effect they had on the development of music in the world.

I must say Phill that was like being transported back to the 70's musically and I mean in a good way.Excellent stuff. In my Prog Rock days if the title track didn't cover the first side of the LP it wasn't worth listening to

How Many Lives. Good question Phill and there is no answer because we are dealing here with the mostly unpredictable human race.Maybe in the future our self destructive nature will be minimalized in our nature. I think it's true to say that generally we are less war like than hundred years ago. Time will tell as they say.We have always lived a violent world and now through mass media the effects of it are brought into our homes immediately and graphically.Which is good and bad.Good song Phill.

I have come to think in my old age that the human race takes it's self much to seriously. To think we matter individually or collectively to development of the universe is just a joke and it's on us...When the human race dies out the earth will still spin until it's allotted time..Nice song Joe got me thinking which is probably a bad thing. well played..

I remember you writing a poem and song about your loss a few years back. I think it was called "Six years of tears" that moved me and made me think then about loss of a child and what it means to the mother. Again your song has stirred up memories.39 years back we lost a child and though I was upset I didn't realise how a mother suffers. I was young and insensitive to my wife's feelings.We never knew where the child was buried as I dealt with the legal stuff my wife was ill at the time and I just I wanted to forget about it so I didn't ask.My wife always wanted to know where the child was but didn't know how to go about finding the location.Strangely it wasn't till her mother died and we sorted out the burial plot that she enquired about finding the location to the officials.It turned out to be relatively easy just some searching through the cemetery numbers and plots until we found the unmarked grave.My wife was so pleased she had found her baby after all these years. I had not really realised what she had felt all the years.We now have a headstone and she has her peace..I have always thought you had a great voice and your guitar playing has come a pace..Well done.

I'm not a fooball fan as such but like to see my country do well. After England rubbish performance against Iceland I was so glad to see Wales win against Belgium. They deserve to go all the way.Their attitude to the matches they play is inspiring and the results are what they deserve.Looking forward to the Potugal match.

Thanks for the listen etc and taking the time to comment always appreciated.Peatle I do get the odd Squirrel in my urban garden plus Badgers and Foxes. The Badgers cause havoc on my lawn digging holes.I tried to post a picture of a visiting Squirrel on the post. The img tags don't seem to be working.so this is a link to the picture.https://myspace.com/onlyarkady/mixes/st … /373648463
